Los Angeles, California - 24x7digital LLC has released TeachMe: Kindergarten 4.0, an update to their popular children's learning series for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. TeachMe: Kindergarten is an educational app which teaches age-appropriate topics to kindergartners: sight words, spelling, addition, subtraction, and now writing skills for letters and numbers. The writing module will teach children proper stroke order and develop fine motor skills for young learners.

TeachMe: Kindergarten is popular with parents because it is educational, and kids enjoy it because it is fun and engaging. The learning screens are colorful and rotate between the different topics so children don't get bored. In addition, TeachMe: Kindergarten has a unique reward system where children earn coins to buy stickers to place in different scenes or buy items for the animated virtual aquarium. The simple and intuitive user interface is designed to be child friendly, allowing children to play without help from an adult. Mimi Mouse, our animated teacher, gives patient verbal instructions and feedback to encourage students to learn and succeed!

Features Highlights:
* Virtual Aquarium reward (4 types of fish and 40+ items)
* 6 different sticker reward scenes: farm, beach, underwater reef, pirate cove, city, playground
* Hundreds of different stickers for adding to scenes
* Classroom friendly tracking of up to 40 students on a single shared device
* Select which subjects are displayed for each child
* Turn on/off specific questions within a subject
* Change the number of correct questions to earn a reward
* Change the number of questions in a row to mark a question learned
* Tracks recent performance for each subject item
* Export sticker rewards scenes to Photos, for emailing or using as wallpaper

Learning Subjects:
* Letter Writing: Upper-case A-Z and lower-case a-z
* Number Writing: 0-9
* Sight Words: Dolch Pre-K and Dolch K
* Addition: up to a total of 10
* Subtraction: from 10 down
* Spelling: complete words by finding the missing letter

TeachMe: Kindergarten keeps children motivated with a unique reward system where children earn a coin for every three correct answers. Coins can then be used to purchase stickers to place in different colorful sticker scenes or to purchase items for a virtual aquarium. Reward scenes can be exported as wallpaper or emailed to family and friends.

The virtual aquarium reward allows children to use their coins at the aquarium's fish store to purchase animated fish to put in their tank. They can also buy plants, gravel, centerpieces and fish food to add to their aquarium.

The achievement screen allows parents and children to easily see progress for each topic. Each topic has five levels represented by stars, along with a colorful progress bar which shows how close you are to achieving the next level. The screen also shows the number of learned questions and the number of correct answers per topic.

The teaching system quizzes on 10 questions at a time in each topic. A question is marked as learned once it is answered correctly three times in a row. When a question is learned, a new more difficult question becomes active.

The math learning screens teach the concepts of addition and subtraction using an interactive interface. In the addition topic, the child can tap a button to add the correct number of objects onto the screen, and then they can tap the objects to count them. In the subtraction topic, the child drags objects into a trash can to remove them, and they can tap the remaining objects to count them.

New In Version 4.0:
* Letter Writing Topic for upper-case A-Z and lower-case a-z
* Number Writing Topic for numbers 0-9
* Animated strokes show the child exactly how to write each letter or number
* Writing modes progress from animated tracing, to tracing, to freehand

Barcelona, Spain - NAFNA today is pleased to introduce Footy Tap 1.02 free for iOS, its new Football/Soccer game that combines tap and toss elements, challenging players to tap/kick the ball at precisely the midway point in its bounce.

#1 Ranked Must-Have Utility App iCleaner Now Updated - Published on 10/03/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jinpyo Hong's iCleaner has been updated with a complete and easy contact clean-up tool, enhanced cleanup speed, an improved UI, multiple language support and more. Available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, iCleaner lets users completely wipe out the data in the free space of their device, so that they can prevent unwanted data recovery in the event of sale, theft or loss. Its enhanced cleaning speed wipes away photos, videos, documents, apps and more.

Cupertino, California - The over 300,000 fans worldwide who have made Jinpyo Hong's iCleaner the most popular cleaning tool for iPhone, iPad and iPod, can now enjoy even more special features and enhanced extras thanks to a new update.

iCleaner, which reached #1 ranked utility app in 52 countries, lets users completely wipe out the data in the free space of their device, so that they can prevent unwanted data recovery in the event of sale, theft or loss. It's ideal for users who want to prepare for a new Apple device (iPhone, iPad or iPod) and an essential level of data wiping that surpasses the iOS' built-in encryption technology, which some experts (like those at Magnet Forensics) believe will soon be vulnerable to rapidly evolving recovery tools.

Plus, iCleaner is the App Store's original and most complete solution for removing temporary files that are created by different apps. "Many users aren't even aware that their apps are creating temporary files, and as such they don't wipe them properly and completely," commented Jinpyo Hong.

And now per the latest update, iCleaner also features:
> A simple interface to select and clean-up multiple contacts
> Enhanced cleaning speed to wipe away photos, videos, documents, apps and more
> An improved user interface for even easier navigation and usage
> A 92.3% reduction in app size from 22.2MB to 1.7MB
> Additional language support for Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Thai and Traditional Chinese

Added Jinpyo Hong: "iPhone, iPad and iPod users need to realize that their data can be recovered even if their device is reset in 'Settings'. As a result, if people are planning to sell, give or refurbish their device, or they simply want to completely wipe their data and contacts to prevent data theft, the latest version of iCleaner is exactly what they need. It's a level of total protection and peace of mind that they simply can't get from other cleaning apps!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 1.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The #1 ranked must-have utility app, iCleaner 2.0.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Create a simple but a great game for toddlers, beautiful to see, hear and play. Create a simple but a great game for toddlers, so easy to play that even the youngest children can play it without parental assistance.

Flipsy.com: iPhone Trade-In Prices Drop By 30%, More Price Drops Coming - Published on 10/03/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Flipsy.com today reports that despite highly-competitive iPhone trade-in programs offered by such notable buyback vendors as Apple, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Amazon, iPhone trade-in values have fallen by 30 percent in recent weeks. The leading iPhone trade-in price comparison service also predicts greater price drops due to the popularity of the recently-introduced iPhone 5S and 5C models. Flipsy.com continually monitors the used iPhone market and report real-time pricing data.

Portland, Oregon - Flipsy.com today reports that despite highly-competitive iPhone trade-in programs offered by such notable buyback vendors as Apple, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Amazon, iPhone trade-in values have fallen by 30 percent in recent weeks. The leading iPhone trade-in price comparison service also predicts greater price drops due to the popularity of the recently-introduced iPhone 5S and 5C models.

Just two weeks ago, a used 16GB iPhone 4 could easily be sold to a Flipsy.com buyback vendor for $120. Now, the best offer is $95. A 16GB iPhone 5 would have gone for as much as $385 in early September 2013, but now it would net $325 at best, a difference of $60.

The iPhone price drop trend is perhaps surprising to many, given stiff competition between several high-profile trade-in programs. Companies such as Apple, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Amazon and others have a vested interest in providing excellent value for iPhone trade-ins. This is because they are not only able to sell the used devices for a profit, but also because users must apply their trade-in values toward the purchases of new iPhones - which keeps customers in-house. The simplest explanation for high trade-in value expectations is that the company that can attract the most trade-ins will be the company with the most long-term customers.

However, simple supply and demand economics have driven down iPhone trade-in values. The more used iPhones on the market, the greater the supply. When the supply outpaces the demand, value drops. Moreover, surging sales for the iPhone's latest models - the 5S and 5C - will lead to even greater trade-in value reductions, says Flipsy.com. This is because competitive price points - starting at $199 and $99 with contracts, respectively - means consumers would prefer to purchase a new iPhone versus a used iPhone at a comparable price. In order for used iPhones to have a market, they must be able to be purchased at lower prices than newer, technologically-advanced iPhone models.

The used iPhone market does offer advantages, however. For example, customers might favor spending less for 64GB or 32GB used iPhone models than they would for new 16GB models. Still, the trend toward falling trade-in values is expected to continue.

"At Flipsy.com, we continually monitor the used iPhone market and report real-time pricing data from dozens of buyback vendors and trade-in programs. From the consumer's perspective, it's rapidly becoming a buyer's market as used iPhones flood the marketplace. If you're in the market for a used iPhone, you might want to bide your time for a lower price. As a seller, however, now is the time to cash in while values are still high," said Flipsy.com CTO Morgan MacArthur. "Professional resellers who sell on Ebay, Amazon.com, Craigslist and other services should check prices daily. Flipsy.com is a one-stop reference for accurate market-driven data and real-time prices for iPhone trade-in programs, buyback vendors and private party sales."

Flipsy.com is the fastest and easiest way for consumers to sell used iPhones, iPads, video game consoles and books for the best possible price. The service instantly compares buy back offers from multiple vendors, lets customers sign up for price alerts and compare trade-in values versus private party sale values. Users can sell used devices to vendors or name their own prices in the Flipsy.com marketplace.
